Yes I did that. Fails because of ModuleNotFoundError:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):

I tried that. Only started to try installing dependencies because
without them it fails.

Because it won't run without cocotbext_wishbone?? I'm telling you,
I've tried six ways from sunday to get this to work.

Which is a problem with python's dependency management methodology, in
rust it's very, very hard to screw up.
